TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Gov. Chris Christie has ordered flags at all state buildings to be flown at half-staff to honor a fallen Navy lieutenant.

The flags will be lowered Monday in tribute Christopher E. Mosko. The 28-year-old died during combat operations in Afghanistan late last month.

Flags were flown at half-staff in New York last month to honor Mosko, who was assigned as a Navy Ordnance Disposal Platoon Commander to the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force. He was stationed in San Diego.

Mosko went to high school in Wisconsin and was a 2007 graduate of Drexel University in Philadelphia.
